[Hyogo] Kobe Disaster Museum, Chinatown & Meriken Park Private Tour

Travel from Osaka to Kobe on a 5-hour private tour that pairs a serious look at the city's past with its most enjoyable streets. Start at the Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution, the museum built after the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake, where survivor testimony and full-scale reconstructions explain how Kobe rebuilt itself. Then walk into Nankinmachi, Japan's liveliest Chinatown, for street food and shopping, and finish along the water at Meriken Park with its harbour views and preserved quake-damaged quay.
